same name
E22-08
Delete files on the SD card and
reload software.

more data than is accessible in the
memory
Insert the SD card again or replace
the SD card.
Contact MIGATRONIC Service if this
does not solve the problem.

for another type of control unit
E22-03
Use a SD card with software that
matches your control unit

Lacking communication to the
power source
Replace the intermediary cable if
it is damaged. Check that power
source and wire feed unit fit
together (MK1/MK1 or MK2/MK2).
If this does not solve the problem,
insert the SD card again or contact

has a sophisticated built-in self-protection system.
The machine automatically stops the gas supply, interrupts the welding current
and stops the wire feeding in case of an error.
Errors are indicated by symbols and error codes.
Temperature fault
The indicator flashes, when the power source is overheated.
Leave the machine on until the built-in fans have cooled it down.
Mixed transfer (only synergic welding programs)
The indicator is switched on and warns about the setting area as it lies
within mixed transfer with risk of welding spatter.
Current fault
The indicator flashes when start current or welding current is
higher than permitted by the welding machine's efficiency.
Make sure that wire speed/current and voltage are set correctly.
Fault symbols
The indicator flashes when other types of errors occur. At the same time
an error code is shown in the display.

connection or choking.
Check that the cooling hoses are correctly connected, top up the water tank
and check welding hose and branches.
The cooling fault is cancelled by pressing shortly on the
been mounted. Gas fault is due to a to low or high pressure on the gas flow.
Make sure that the pressure on the gas flow is higher than 2 bar and less than
6 bar, corresponding to 5 l/min and 27 l/min.
The fault is disconnected by adjusting the manual gas flow to 27 l/min. Gas fault
is switched off pressing down the
Wire feed fault
The indicator is displayed, if the wire feed motor is overloaded.
The wire feed motor or magnet valve may be defective.
Other types of faults
If other fault symbols are shown in the display, the machine shall be switched off
and then on to dispose of the symbol.
If the fault symbol is shown repeatedly, repair of the power source is required.
Contact your distributor with information of the fault.
